Pastured pork comes from pigs that live pretty much like they would if left to their own devices. Our pigs are raised on pasture where they have a small shelter for sleeping and are free to forage for grass, roots, and anything else they may dig up. In addition to what they forage, we provide them with vegetables from our garden as well as an all natural, non-GMO feed we source from a local feed mill. Feel free to come visit the farm and see the pigs in action anytime.

HOW MUCH PORK CAN I ORDER?

You can order either a half or a whole pig. If you think this may be too much meat, a lot of our customers choose to go in on a share with some friends or another family.

HOW MUCH PORK WILL I ACTUALLY TAKE HOME?

Our top hogs weigh 250-300 pounds at the time of slaughter. After slaughtering the 'hanging' or 'dead' weight will be 175-210 pounds which will be the weight we use to determine the cost of your share. Then, depending on how you choose to have your pig processed, a full share of pork will leave you with 125-150 pounds of pork cuts and a half share will yield 65-75 pounds.

DO I NEED A FREEZER?

Yes...or at least a large freezer section in your fridge. A good rule of thumb is one cubic feet will hold about 35 pounds of meat. A small, 5 cubic feet freezer is less than $200 and is a great investment.

WHERE WILL I PICK UP?

You will pick up all your meat at our farm. Unlike other small farms, we handle the transportation to the butcher as well as picking up the finished product. This gives us an opportunity to check and verify that your share was packaged and cut exactly how you requested. Given our limited freezer space it will be expected that you pick up your order the day we get it from the butcher.

HOW MUCH WILL A PORK SHARE COST?

Our 2017 price for pork shares is $3.75/pound. This is based on the 'hanging weight' which is less than the live pig. A half share will end up costing around $425 and a whole share will be around $850. This ends up being around $6.00 to $6.25 a pound for the meat that is going into your freezer. The more of the pig you utilize, the better deal you end up getting.
